Hi Fellow Towertalkers, I'm considering putting "up" a Beverage antenna and have some questions regarding what I can do and not do to get it work good. I looked in to it and find the two-wire version

Yes, they can be on top of each other. The dxengineering version actually recommends open wire feedline for their system: http://www.dxengineering.com/search/product-line/dx-engineering-reversible-b

I think there is some disagreement about the necessity to slope the ends to the ground as I used to do. There was a discussion on here about it. The intent of sloping then wire was to minimize the ve
